Hitch and Bike Rack for Tesla Model Y and 2 eBikes
Question:
I want to carry 2 ea. Juiced Hyper Scorpion bikes 90 lbs ea., 105 lbs ea. with battery on my Tesla Model Y with a trailer hitch. What do you recommend?
asked by: Jerry R
Expert Reply:
For the Tesla Model Y, I suggest the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver, # EH39FR. This is a class III 2" receiver hitch with a tongue weight rating of 350 lbs.
For a bike rack, rated for at least 90 lbs. each, that is challenging. We have the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE for 2 Electric Bikes, # HLY84FR that is a great bike rack and our highest weight rating but that is 80 lbs. per bike. The carrier itself is 54 lbs. Some of our customers remove not only the battery for weight reduction, which batteries should always be removed for transport anyway, but also the seat and any racks or add-on accessories to reduce weight while on the carrier, placing in the cargo area of the vehicle and reattaching after unloading.
